Cost of Membership

Membership dues are calculated based on a company’s total annual organic sales (trade members) or total annual sales (associate members). OTA’s sliding scale gives you the flexibility to adjust your dues level and payment amount with an increase or decrease in your revenues.

Your membership dues will help OTA promote and protect organic agriculture and trade on behalf of the diverse business community. Our initiatives help to fuel the growth of the sector and keep the organic marketplace thriving. Invest in us so that we can invest in you.
